Fix Auto names new senior VP of insurance services

March 13, 2012—Fix Auto USA on Tuesday appointed Tim Clark as senior vice president of insurance services.

Fix Auto said Clark will be responsible for strengthening the company’s existing insurance relationships and implementing new strategic partnerships. Clark will also oversee Fix Auto’s insurance services department, including the Fix Full Performance Claims Solution program.

Clark most recently worked for Performance Claims—an enterprise that assists companies with managing networks of suppliers, vendors and trading partners—where he launched a network management technology platform used by four of the top eight U.S. insurers, Fix Auto said.

Prior to Performance Claims, Fix Auto said Clark served as vice president of insurance services for Safelite Auto Glass, and held a variety of field management and corporate positions with Safeco Insurance.

“In observing collision repair industry consolidation over the last several years, I am certain that Fix Auto is poised to make a meaningful impact on our industry,” Clark said. “Fix Auto has been methodically building out its infrastructure and offers insurers a strategic advantage combining the speed, agility and a commitment to excellence of local proprietors with the centralized systems needed to address insurers’ business objectives. I welcome the opportunity to contribute to Fix Auto’s success and joining a team committed to delivering a superior performance model to insurers.”

“The goals of the insurance and collision repair industries are intertwined more closely than ever,” said Paul Gange, president and chief operating officer of Fix Auto USA, based in Anaheim Hills, Calif. “Given our mutual success is so interdependent, it is more important than ever for Fix Auto to remain in synch with our insurance industry partners. Tim’s extensive experience as a claims executive will help ensure that we’re working together toward our mutual goals. We welcome him aboard, and we anticipate that he will make a great contribution to providing our members a further competitive advantage in their markets.”
